Verdict

A very tricky handicap that may fall to Mister Sweets, Far Note and Gilded Cove are also expected to run well. The selection made a very pleasing reappearance when chasing home Kindlelight Debut at Wolverhampton earlier this month, going down by just over a length. He is proven on this track as well and so long as he doesn't bounce he must have strong claims. Far Note ran well here in April before putting in a few poor performances. He looked back to his best behind Coranglais at Nottingham last time and should be there or thereabouts. Gilded Cove was successful over the five furlong trip here in April and still looks on a decent mark. The extra furlong will not be a problem and he should be capable of reaching the frame. Caustic Wit and George The Best look the pick of the remainder but our idea of the winner is Mister Sweets.
